The woman later said that they had just finished feeding the animals when the infant came racing toward its mother. "The end result was us saying 'awww' at the end."
Although it is unknown what led the young alpaca to make the unexpected (and adorable) choice, internet users are still speculating. Some viewers of the video suggested that the infant became envious as the girl approached its beloved mother.
One person aptly captioned the situation, "She's MY mommy, not yours!"
Thankfully, Sierra caught the moment on her cellphone, and the whole internet fell in love with it.
Oxytocin most likely plays a role in why couples live longer than singles, why support groups help people with addictions and chronic illnesses, and why pet owners recover from illness more rapidly. Additionally, oxytocin has been reported to lessen appetites for alcohol, drugs, and sweets.
Even wound healing and inflammation are positively impacted by it. So go ahead and give someone a hug today.
